Active clinical trials for "Weight Loss"

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of topiramate 96mg and 192mg daily) with placebo in the treatment of obesity following an intensive non-pharmacologic weight loss program.

We propose to conduct a randomized study of standard behavioral weight-loss treatment to test if using an electronic diary with or without tailored feedback will improve adherence to self-monitoring and subsequently improve weight loss. Subjects will be randomly assigned to different methods to self-monitor food and exercise habits: (1) use of the traditional paper diary , (2) use of a personal digital assistant (PDA), or (3) use of a personal digital assistant that also provides daily feedback.

The purpose of this study to examine the effect of having a weight loss mentor on long-term weight loss in overweight adults.

The primary aim is to examine whether the intake of PhosphoLEAN is effective in aiding a cohort of women in losing weight. Participants taking the supplement will have significantly greater improvement in study outcomes than those taking the placebo.

The overall purpose of this research is to determine the effect of weight loss and physical training on quality of life, physical function, metabolism, bone strength, body fat and muscle mass.

To evaluate the effect of 6-month administration of CP-945,598 on: weight loss and waist circumference, blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose other biochemical variables like insulin, leptin, ghrelin, adiponectin, PAI 1, TNF-α and hsCRP the relationship between the concentration of the drug on the blood and the above parameters physical and psychosocial functioning, weight related symptoms, treatment satisfaction, appetite/hunger/satiety/craving and mood, anxiety, anhedonia and depression

This study is designed to determine whether sequence variation in the lipoprotein lipase (LPQ) gene affects the amount of weight loss and metabolic responses during a hypocaloric diet treatment for overweight and obese (BMI=25-35 kg/m2), older (50-65 yrs), sedentary veterans.

The goal of PrepareD is to examine whether the prepregnancy weight-loss intervention administered during the Prepare trial [NCT02346162] has an influence in the postnatal period. PrepareD is a cohort study (no intervention) that will address new specific aims through one in-person visit with mothers and children, dietary recalls, actigraphy, and the use of medical record weights. The goal is to collect data when the child is 3 years old. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the investigators expanded the data collection window in order to collect data up to when the child is 5 years old. The investigators hypothesize that intervening on women before pregnancy is the key to breaking the multigenerational cycle of obesity.

This pilot and feasibility study will collect information from food insecure, as well as food secure, women with obesity to detail their desires and needs for healthy weight reduction. Up to 60 women with obesity will be enrolled. Pennington Biomedical Research Center will coordinate this qualitative study and use focus groups discussion to collect formative data.

Clinical intervention on overweight or moderately obeses adults. The objective of this trial is to demonstrate the superior eficacy of Alphagos to placebo on weight loss during a low-calorie diet of 12 weeks. The superiority is judged on body weight. Change in cardiometabolic risk factors through the intervention have been evaluated as secondary endpoints
